We have hit the crazy season for us. We have already gone to 5 graduations. We missed one and have 2 more this weekend. On top of that we have had a couple of weddings and a special Boy Scout ceremony. And how could I forget graduation parties.
This past weekend my super precious cousin Katie graduated. I must take a moment to brag on her. Katie is an amazing young woman . She is beautiful, incredibly smart, athletic, and very Godly. Her family has been through a lot in the last couple of years and she has used this to strengthen her relationship with the Lord. She was in the top 10 of her class. She is amazing and I love her! Congrats Katie!
Also, this weekend, one of our students invited us to his Eagle Scout ceremony. He asked Bryan to be a part of the ceremony. Please understand that we know nothing about Boy Scouts, but we know that this is a huge honor that these boys work really hard for. This ceremony took on an unexpected meaning to us. Several weeks ago during AMP'd, Bryan told our students that we are adopting. After the service, Brad (the boy scout) came to us and shared that he and his sisters are adopted.
At the end of the ceremony, Brad added in a special part to honor his parents. It was so special! Brad talked about how special his parents are, how much he loves them, and how thankful he is for them. Under normal circumstances, this would have been sweet, and I would have thought it was nice. However, Bryan and I both lost it and cried like babies. Brad was so sincere and serious in what he was saying about his parents. We can only hope and pray that our son (wherever he is) will be able to say the same of us. I pray that we can make the same impact on our son that Brad's parents have had on him.
Thank you Brad! You just don't know how much that meant to us!
